Resolved:

That the Director of Governance and Assurance be authorised to procure by way of a lease agreement the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV 4H from Limesquare Vehicle Rental Ltd to replace the current Mayor’s car on the basis of the specification, preferences and budget agreed by the Leader of the Council in August 2019.

To ensure that an appropriate vehicle is procured, that is of suitable specification, to be utilised for civic engagements and transportation of the Mayor / Deputy Mayor.

The possibility of not replacing the current vehicle at this moment in time and the option to purchase rather than lease a new vehicle were considered previously, however, it was concluded that purchasing a vehicle would not be cost effective.

No interests have been declared.
